gotti's ego was too big. he would have made a play even if neil was boss.
I don't think so. Gotti never went on the offensive with people he truly feared. He never had the balls or conviction to go after Gigante because he knew he couldn't win that one. No way in hell. So getting back to my original point, I think he truly feared Neil. He wouldn't have had the balls---or more importantly, the support of the soldiers---to turn on Neil.
